Kirby has made a big impression on television with roles in The Crown, The Frankenstein Chronicles and mini-series Great Expectations and The Hours.
It’s somewhat surprising how durable the Mission: Impossible series has proven to be, especially when you consider that at one point Cruise was actually ready to jump off (he’s being paid handsomely for Mission: Impossible 6 so there’s no danger of him bailing now).
The up-side is that, when Cruise tabs an actress to be his co-star, it usually becomes a springboard to much bigger things.
The newest movie is expected to go before cameras beginning at some point in 2017, with an eye on a 2018 release date.
